The State of Play reserved for Hogwarts Legacy: Hogwarts Legacy has given fans more than just a hot flash. But despite all the positives that could come from this presentation, some thought they were seeing mechanics hidden behind a paywall and possibly multiplayer. To avoid bad publicity ahead of release, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Avalance Software (Disney Infinity) have worked things out.
